Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit is a versatile, cheap and relatively
available tool that can be used in remote areas. In this study, performance of ELISA kit was
evaluated in terms of accuracy, recovery, ...

The amounts of black tea theaflavins, brightness, and sensory evaluations varied with clones in the order clone 6/8>SC12/28>S15/10, while thearubigins and total colour changed in the reverse order. The rates of change of ...

In this study, a well-studied synthetic faujasite X (FAU-X) zeolite and a recently
discovered natural zeolite material from Kenya (NZ-K) were compared for their efficiency in
removal of clomazone, a herbicide and water ...

A comparison is made of the various ratios used to quantify black tea
aroma such as the ratio of the sum of gas chromatographic peak areas of compounds
eluting before linalool (3,7-dimethyl-1,6-0ctadien-3-01) to those ...

The objective of this study is to compare the efficacies of powder activated carbon (PAC) and
granular activated carbon (GAC) as amendments for the immobilization of volatile
compounds in soil. Soil artificially-spiked ...

Abstract Mau Forest in the upper reaches of the Mara River basin has recently undergone
increased forest destruction followed by human settlement and agricultural activities. These
anthropogenic activities may be ...

Changes in quality parameters of crush, tear and curl (CTC) black clonal teas due
to variations in altitude within a radius of 10 km were determined. There were significant (P=
0.05) changes in all the quality parameters ...

The ability of zeolites to abstract and denature organochloride pesticides finds application in
water purification practices. In this study, activated faujasite X and Y zeolites were separately
exposed to 1, 2 and 4 ...

The tea beverages processed from the young tender shoots of Camellia sinensis
(L.) O. Kuntze, are claimed to be the most widely consumed fluids after water. The tea plant
originates from the point of confluence of ...

The contents of the volatile flavour compounds and the flavour index of black teas vary with localities. The magnitude and order of the variations are clonally dependent, the relative performance of clones varying with ...

Human-induced changes to natural landscapes have been identified as some of
the greatest threats to freshwater resources. The change from natural forest cover to
agricultural and pastoral activities is rampant especially ...
